Elizarov, 17, was swimming with students from First United Methodist Church West Monroe in Lake Bruin when a group of four encountered an electrical charge in the water.

Sarah Grace Tellifero, the daughter of church pastor Jon Tellifero, was airlifted to Madison Parish Hospital where she later died.

Two other students, a male and a female were later taken to hospitals for treatment. The male student whose name has not been released was discharged Tuesday. The other female is still hospitalized, but her condition is not available.
